St. Charles Soccer Draws Probation

St. Charles' girls soccer program is being placed on probation for practicing last winter with a full squad of 11 players to a side before the official practice season had begun.

The IHSA declined comment Friday, but sources confirm the soccer program has been warned about practice violations and will be expected to comply in the future.

The Saints squad went undefeated during the 1994 spring season and won the state title June 4 over Naperville Central. None of those games will be affected by the penalty.

IHSA Executive Director Dave Fry will make a statement Wednesday, while St. Charles soccer coach Tim Dailey deferred comment to Athletic Director Wayne DeMarr. DeMarr was out of town and unavailable for comment.
